Metreau® Keypads

Overview

Metreau keypads are a convenient, versatile, cost-effective option for achieving effortless control of virtually anything through a NetLinx® control system. Metreau keypads offer easy installation within Decora-style wall plates and sleek styling that complements NetLinx Integrated Controllers (all keypads) and Tango Distributed Audio Systems (Audio Keypads only).

There are three basic variations within the Metreau device family:

Metreau Keypads with Ethernet

The MET-6NE, MET-7E and MET-13E keypads connect to a NetLinx control system via category cable. These keypads can be used as individual keypads or in conjunction with the MET-7X or MET-13X Metreau Ethernet Expansion Keypads.

Note: In terms of SWT functionality, the Metreau Audio keypads (DAS-MET-6SRC & DAS-MET-NUM) are a close match to previous versions of Matrix KP and NUM keypads.

Overview - Speaker Wire Technology (SWT)

Speaker Wire Technology (SWT) allows both data and audio signals to travel over the same four conductor wire. This remarkable technology removes the need for control wire since the control and audio signals are shared on the same wire. The reliability and simplicity of this system has been proven for years. AMX Matrix Audio is the only company that offers a "retrofit solution", one which allows the replacement of volume controls with AMX Matrix Audio keypads and Controllers, giving full control over the sources.

Additionally, the versatility of SWT also allows AMX Matrix Audio products to be connected where the control wire has been run separately from the speaker cable.

Metreau Keypads Device Family

All Metreau keypads are available in two colors: White and Black. Some older models are also available in Light Almond. The following table lists the keypads in the Metreau family, with descriptions and FG#s for each color.

Custom Button Installation

Overview

With the exception of the DAS-MET-NUM, all Metreau keypads feature field-replaceable pre-printed buttons. This section describes removing the original set of buttons and replacing them with custom buttons.

Removing Buttons

The easiest way to remove and replace buttons on the Metreau keypads is to place the keypad assembly (FIG. 11) face-down on a flat level surface, so that the buttons stay in position until you are ready to remove them.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power supply and all wiring connections before removing/replacing buttons on the Metreau keypads.

IMPORTANT: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

The Faceplate is attached to the Mounting Plate via four plastic tabs (two on each side of the Faceplate, as shown in FIG. 11). It is not necessary to remove the plastic faceplate from the Mounting Plate in order to replace buttons.

1. The faceplate is attached to the mounting plate via four plastic tabs (two on each side of the faceplate, see FIG. 11). To remove the faceplate, gently pry it from either side.
2. Gently lift each button off of their mounting posts on the circuit board.
3. Select the location of the custom buttons and gently snap them into place on the Circuit Board.

Be sure to note the orientation of the LED window on each button, to avoid accidentally mounting them upside down.

1. Reattach the plastic faceplate.

FIG. 11 Keypad assembly

Button Kits

Three different button kits, which accommodate most installations, are available for Metreau keypads:

Custom Keypads and Buttons

If a requested keypad needs functions not offered in the standard Button Kits, a custom keypad may be built with the AMX Metreau Keypad Preview (FIG. 12), available at www.amx.com. This tool allows custom arrangement of default or custom button arrangements, creation of custom button text, previews of keypad type and color, and printouts of final keypad layouts and parts lists.

FIG. 12 Metreau Keypad Preview

AxLink Device Addressing

Overview

Metreau Keypads with AxLink used in NetLinx applications require a unique numeric AxLink device address of 1-255. Consider specifying the device address for each keypad before final installation.

NOTE: AxLink device addressing applies only to the MET-6N, MET-7, and MET-13 keypads. Metreau Audio Keypads (DAS-MET-6SRC and DAS-MET-13) do not require device addressing.

Device Addressing on MET-6N Keypads

• The MET-6N uses two AxLink devices addresses - one for the keypad itself, and a second one for the IR Receiver.
• The device address of the IR Receiver is auto-assigned to be one number higher than the device address of the keypad itself (to which the firmware is uploaded).
• The MET-6N will appear as two devices in the Devices frame, because it's built-in IR Receiver is recognized as a separate online device.
• Firmware is uploaded to the device address of the keypad (not the IR Receiver).

For example, if the MET-6N is set to device address 127, then the IR Receiver on that MET-6N will appear as device number 128. Firmware must be sent to the keypad, not the IR Receiver (in this example, device 127).

Setting the AxLink Device Address

AxLink-enabled Metreau keypads (MET-6N, MET-7 and MET-13) use an 8-position mini-DIP switch to specify a unique device address for each keypad in a NetLinx Control System (see FIG. 13).

FIG. 13 DIP Switch and SWT Jumper locations
NOTE: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

1. If connected, disconnect the power supply.
2. Locate the 8-position mini-DIP switch on the rear panel.
3. Set the DIP switch according to the values shown below.

S w i	t	c	h	1	2	3	4	5	6
Value 1 2	4	8	16	32	64	128

7 8

The device number is set by the total value of DIP switch positions that are in the ON position. Note that the ON position is indicated on the DIP Switch.

As an example, the DIP switch in FIG. 14 defines AXlink device number 129 (1+128=129).

FIG. 14 8-position mini-DIP Switch

If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the power connector to enter the new device number into memory.

NOTE: AMX has created the "Dip Switch2" software application to assist in calculating dip switch position values. Download the (free) program Dip Switch2 from www.amx.com.

Mounting and Installation

Overview

Metreau keypads are designed to install into standard U.S. Decora-style wall plates and boxes (wallboxes not included).

IMPORTANT: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

Mounting Procedures

AMX recommends mounting Metreau keypads in standard U.S.-style Decora wallboxes:

• Conduit box should meet NEC specs (section 370)
  • Minimum internal clearance of (HWD) 2-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1-5/8".

Wallbox Mounting

1. Use the cutout dimension for the wallbox to cutout the install surface.
2. Connect the AxLink connector (or SWT cable connectors) to the rear of the keypad.
3. Place the Mounting Plate on the wallbox; align the screw holes with the mounting holes and fasten the Mounting Plate to the wallbox using the screws supplied.

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the screws when mounting the Mounting Frame. The device should be flush with mounting surface.

Podium Mounting

1. Use the cutout dimension for the wallbox to cutout the Mounting Frame install surface for the keypad
2. Confirm that the terminal end of the AxLink cable is disconnected, and not receiving power.
3. Connect the AxLink power supply. The connector passes through the center of the Mounting Frame and connects to the board.
4. With the Mounting Frame resting in the cutout area, drill the mounting holes into the flat surface.

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the screws when mounting the Mounting Frame. The device should be flush with mounting surface.

Accent Frame

While the Metreau device family does fit into many International wallboxes, it may be necessary to utilize the optional Accent Frame to completely cover the wallbox.

To install the keypad with the optional Accent Frame:

1. Use the cutout dimension for the wallbox to cut out the install surface for the keypad.
2. Place the Accent Frame on the wallbox; align the screw holes with the mounting holes on the wallplate. Fasten the wallplate to the wallbox.
   Based on the extensive number of international wallboxes it is not pragmatic to ship every possible screw that could be used. Please use the screws appropriate for your specific wallbox.

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the screws when mounting the Mounting Frame. The device should be flush with mounting surface.

1. Confirm that the terminal end of the AxLink cable is disconnected, and not receiving power.
2. Connect the power supply. The connector passes through the center of the Mounting Frame and connects to the board.
3. Place the Mounting Frame on the Accent Frame; align the screw holes with the mounting holes and fasten the Mounting Frame to the wallplate. The Accent Frame is shipped with two #6-32 x .187 long flat head screws (80-131); these are used to attach the keypad to the accent frames.

Daisy-Chaining Keypads (Ethernet Keypads only)

You can use the MET-6NE, MET-7E, or MET-13E Ethernet Keypads as individual keypads or in conjunction with the MET-7X or MET-13X Metreau Ethernet Expansion keypads. The expansion keypads connect to the Ethernet Keypad via the 10-conductor ribbon cable included with the expansion keypad.

Metreau keypads support daisy-chaining up to three keypads together. If you are daisy-chaining three keypads together, connect the third keypad in the chain to the first Expansion Keypad. Daisy-chained keypads receive power from a single Ethernet connection and appear as a single NetLinx device.

Use the 10-conductor ribbon included with the expansion keypad to connect to the Ethernet Keypad (FIG. 21):

FIG. 21 Daisy-chained connection between the MET-7E and an Ethernet Expansion Keypad

NOTE: If you are installing a single expansion keypad into a 3-gang back box, install the expansion keypad in the space immediately adjacent to the primary Ethernet keypad (see FIG. 22). Daisy-chaining is supported across a distance of 4" (101.6 mm).

FIG. 22 Install the keypads immediately adjacent to each other in a 3-gang back box

NOTE: When the ribbon cable is connected, touching or moving the ribbon cable can cause a temporary disruption in communication causing the keypads to temporarily go offline and return to service shortly after the initial outset. Once the keypads are mounted and the ribbon cable is stable, no disruptions should occur.

Wiring and Connections

Overview

Some models of Metreau keypads support both AxLink and SWT wiring configurations. Each is described in the following subsections. For information on AxLink vs. SWT device addressing, refer to the AxLink Device Addressing section on page 24.

NOTE: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

Ethernet Wiring

Metreau Keypads with Ethernet and Metreau Ethernet Expansion Keypads use standard category cabling to provide power to the keypads. Applying power to the Metreau Keypads with Ethernet requires category cable and a PoE injector, such as the PS-POE-AF-TC (FG423-83) available from AMX. The network must be connected through the PoE injector to send power to the keypad. The category cable should only run through a common building. (A common building is defined as: Where the walls of the structure(s) are physically connected and the structure(s) share a single ground reference.)

Metreau Expansion Ethernet Keypads receive power from the Metreau Ethernet Keypad it is connected to via the 10-conductor ribbon cable on the expansion keypad.

Each Metreau keypad has a green LINK/ACTIVE LED on its rear panel that lights when the link is up and toggles off when a data packet is sent or received. Each Metreau keypad also has a green STATUS LED on its rear panel that is under firmware control. The following table lists the modes and blink patterns for the LINK/ACT and STATUS LEDs on the Metreau keypads:

Modes and LED Blink Patterns

AxLink Wiring

In AxLink mode, Metreau keypads use a standard four-pin captive-wire AxLink connector for power and data.

CAUTION: If using power from AxLink, disconnect the wiring from the control system before wiring the Metreau keypad. Do not connect power to the keypads until the wiring is complete.

MET-6N, MET-7, and MET-13 Rear Panel Components

NOTE: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

FIG. 23 shows the basic rear components of the AxLink (MET-6N, MET-7, and MET-13) keypads:

FIG. 23 MET-6SRC, MET-7 and MET-13 - Rear Components

AxLink Wiring Guidelines

Metreau keypads require 12 VDC power to operate properly. The necessary power is supplied via the AxLink cable. The maximum AxLink wiring distance is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The following table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable based on the maximum power consumption rating of 170 mA.

Wiring Guidelines at 170 mA
Wire Size	Maximum Wiring Length
18 AWG 690	42 feet (210.43 m)
20 AWG 436	80 feet (133.13 m)
22 AWG 272	33 feet (83.00 m)
24 AWG 171	66 feet (52.32 m)

The maximum wiring lengths for using AxLink power are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available.

Preparing Captive Wires

You will need a wire stripper, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.

1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section.
3. Turn the flat-head screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector.

NOTE: Do not over-torque the screws; doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the connector.

AxLink Data and Power Connections

Connect the NetLinx Controller's AxLink connector to the AxLink connector on the rear panel of the Metreau keypad for data and 12 VDC power as shown in FIG. 24.

SWT Wiring

DAS-MET-6SRC and DAS-MET-7 Rear Panel Components

NOTE: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

FIG. 27 shows the basic rear components of the SWT (DAS-MET-6SRC and DAS-MET-NUM) keypads:

FIG. 27 DAS-MET-6SRC and DAS-MET-NUM - Rear Components

Cable Type

SWT wiring involves connecting the Mi-Series Controller, Metreau keypads, and speakers.

The Mi-Series Controller and Metreau keypads are cabled using standard four-conductor speaker cable originating at the Controller, passing through the keypad, and terminating at the speaker location.

AMX recommends using a bundled four-conductor 16-gauge stranded copper wire in a single continuous run.

Preparing Captive Wires

SWT wiring utilizes four-color "snap connectors" to secure the wires (no screws). You will need a wire stripper to prepare and connect the captive wires.

1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section.

DAS-MET-6SRC - SWT Data and Power Connections

1. Connect the Matrix Controller's Zone Output connector to the four-pin connector on the rear panel of the Metreau keypad labeled TO CONTROLLER for data and 12 VDC power.
2. Connect the other four-pin connector on the keypad labeled TO SPEAKERS to the SWT speakers as shown in FIG. 24.

FIG. 28 SWT wiring

DAS-MET-NUM - Connecting to the Main DAS-MET-6SRC Keypad

The DAS-MET-NUM Metreau numeric keypad connects to the main DAS-MET-6SRC keypad via a 14-pin connector, as indicated in FIG. 29:

SWT Special Wiring Configurations

Auxiliary Amplifier Configuration

In some cases you may require more power for a given zone than the Matrix Controller can provide. You may purchase a DAS-LLC to provide a line level output to incorporate a larger external amplifier, or you can make your own line level converter. FIG. 32 shows the construction of a simple circuit of discrete components to reduce the "speaker level" output of the Matrix Controller to "line level" so that it can drive an auxiliary amplifier.

FIG. 32 Auxiliary Amplifier Configuration

This amplifier would typically be installed at the equipment rack (head end).

Remote Amplifier Configuration

In some cases, where the distance between the Matrix Controller and the zone is unusually long, it is sometimes desirable to have a remote amplifier at the zone end. You may install a DAS-LLC to accomplish this task or you may build your own. FIG. 33 shows the construction of a simple circuit of discrete components to reduce the Matrix Controller output to "line-level" so that it can be fed into an auxiliary amplifier.

FIG. 33 Remote Amplifier Configuration

Two-Wire Configurations – Keypad for Control Only

In some retrofit configurations it is not feasible or possible to re-route the speaker cable through the keypad. In cases such as this, it is possible to run a separate cable pair (CAT-3 / CAT-5 / Twisted Pair) cable from the Matrix Controller to the keypad for control purposes. When using CAT3/CAT5 over long runs, it is recommended to "double-up" the control wires (only 2 conductors are required, and there are 4-8 wires available). FIG. 34 shows the connections of the control signal path to the keypad, and the speaker connections to the Matrix Controller.

FIG. 34 2 Wire Configurations - keypad for Control Only

Split Zone / Analog Volume Control

In cases of split zones where more than one set of speakers are driven from the same keypad, it is sometimes desirable to place a volume control in the split zone. FIG. 35 shows the connections to a remote zone, and "Autoformer" volume control device.

FIG. 35 Split Zone / Analog Volume control (Option 2) one keypad

• Ensure the impedance setting doesn't fall below 4 Ohms.
• If you are installing 2 pairs of speakers in a zone and the speakers are 8 Ohms, it is not necessary to use an impedance matching autoformer type volume control. A standard stereo volume control will perform properly. The impedance will be approximately 4 Ohms.
• If you are using an impedance matching volume control with 2 pairs of speakers set the impedance matching to the 2X setting.

NOTE: It is not recommended to install more than 2 pair of speakers per zone.

Configuring Metreau Keypads with Ethernet

Overview

This chapter provides instructions on accessing and configuring the Metreau Keypads with Ethernet. To configure the keypad, you must have it powered by PoE.

Locating the IP Address of the Keypad

Metreau Keypads with Ethernet are configured for DHCP addressing by default. The keypads use link local addressing as a backup in case the DHCP server is inaccessible. See the Toggling Between IP Addressing Modes: DHCP and Static IP section on page 41 for information on setting a static IP address. Verify there is an active LAN connection on the controller's LAN port before beginning this procedure.

1. Using category cable, connect the LAN port on the keypad to your external network.
2. In NetLinx Studio, select the OnLine Tree tab. You should see the Metreau keypad listed among the Unbound Devices.
3. Right-click the Metreau keypad and select Network Bind/Unbind Device from the menu that appears. The Bind/Unbind Device dialog opens.
4. By default, the selected keypad appears in the Device to Bind/Unbind menu at the top of the dialog. If there is more than one Unbound device in the system, click the down arrow to select which device you want to bind.
5. Select the check box next to the Master to which you want to bind the keypad. If there is more than one Master in the system, check the specific Master to which you want to bind the keypad.
6. Click OK to save changes and close this dialog.
7. Select Refresh System (in the Online Tree context menu). The device should now appear in the Bound Devices folder.

Simulating the ID Pushbutton

You can press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously on the keypads to simulate the functions of a NetLinx device's ID pushbutton (see FIG. 36 for the button layout for each keypad).

FIG. 36 Button layouts for Metreau Keypads with Ethernet

Toggling Between IP Addressing Modes: DHCP and Static IP

Metreau Keypads with Ethernet support both DHCP and static IP addresses. You can use a static IP address which you can set via a Telnet command (SET IP), or you can use the factory default static IP address (192.168.1.2).

With the keypad powered and booted up (or in ID Mode), you can toggle between the DHCP and Static IP modes by pressing and holding buttons 1 and 2. The LEDs on buttons 1 and 2 blink while you keep them pressed. Hold them until the LEDs begin blinking at double the rate (approximately 10 seconds), then release the buttons.

When you release the buttons, the keypad toggles either from static to dynamic (DHCP) IP addressing or vice versa and remains in that mode until the you use the buttons to toggle the IP mode again or you perform a factory reset. The keypad automatically reboots to complete the process.

NOTE: You must wait until the keypad is finished booting before toggling the IP address. Pressing the buttons while booting will cause the keypad to restore its factory default settings.

Assigning a Device ID to a Keypad

When used in conjunction with the ID Mode feature in NetLinx Studio, you can momentarily press buttons 1 and 2 on the keypad to assign a device address to the keypad. See the NetLinx Studio Instruction Manual or consult the online help tool in NetLinx Studio for more information.

Resetting the Keypad

To perform a factory reset of the Keypad, press and hold buttons 1 and 2 for approximately 10 seconds during the boot process. The LEDs on buttons 1 and 2 blink while you keep them pressed. Hold them until the LEDs begin blinking at double the rate (approximately 10 seconds.) Release the buttons and the keypad will reset. During factory reset, the backlight turns off for all buttons, but all buttons should be back online after 1-2 minutes. If you do not hold in the reset button until the LEDs begin blinking faster, the reset does not occur. (There is no soft reboot with the Reset button, but you can perform a soft reboot from the web pages.)

NOTE: When you reset a keypad, the keypad is restored to the factory default, so you will lose all configuration data as the defaults are restored.

Restoring the Factory Image on the Keypad

To restore the factory image on the keypad, press and hold buttons 1 and 2 for approximately 20 seconds during the boot process. The LEDs on buttons 1 and 2 blink slowly while you keep them pressed, and they begin to blink more quickly after 10-12 seconds. Hold the buttons until the LEDs stop blinking (approximately 20 seconds.) While pressing the buttons, disconnect and reconnect the cable from the LAN port on the rear panel of the device to restore the factory image firmware on the keypad.

Updating Firmware

Sending Firmware to Metreau Keypads (AxLink)

The Firmware on the AxLink-enabled Metreau keypads (MET-6N, MET-7 and MET-13) can be updated via the NetLinx Studio application.

Device Addressing on MET-6N Keypads

• The MET-6N uses two AxLink devices addresses - one for the keypad itself, and a second one for the IR Receiver.
• The device address of the IR Receiver is auto-assigned to be one number higher than the device address of the keypad itself (to which the firmware is uploaded).
• The MET-6N will appear as two devices in the Devices frame because it's built-in IR Receiver is recognized as a separate online device.
• Firmware is uploaded to the device address of the keypad (not the IR Receiver).

For example, if the MET-6N is set to device address 127, then the IR Receiver on that MET-6N will appear as device number 128. Firmware must be sent to the keypad, not the IR Receiver (in this example, device 127).

NOTE: Note: Refer to the NetLinx Studio online help for additional details on firmware transfers. NetLinx Studio is available for free download from www.amx.com.

1. Open NetLinx Studio.

2. Go to Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to AxLink Device. The Send to AxLink Device dialog opens (FIG 37).

FIG. 37 Send to AxLink Device Dialog

1. Browse to the location of the firmware file.
2. Select the file within the Files area.
3. Click Query for Devices.
4. Select the Metreau keypad within the Devices area.

The MET-6N will appear as two devices in the Devices area because it's built-in IR Receiver is recognized as a separate online device.

The Device Address of the IR Receiver is always one number higher than the device number of the keypad itself (to which the firmware is uploaded). For example, if the MET-6N is set to device number 127, then the IR Receiver on that MET-6N will appear as device number 128. Firmware must be sent to the keypad, not the IR Receiver (in this example, device 127).

1. Click Send. When NetLinx Studio has finished sending the firmware file to the keypad, you can click Close and then exit NetLinx Studio.

Sending Firmware to Metreau Keypads with Ethernet

The basic process of upgrading firmware on Metreau Keypads with Ethernet involves downloading the latest firmware files from www.amx.com and using NetLinx Studio to transfer the files to a target keypad.

NOTE: These steps assume that you have already established a connection with the target keypad in NetLinx Studio.

1. In NetLinx Studio. click on the OnLine Tree tab (in the Workspace Bar) to view the devices on the System.
2. In the OnLine Tree tab, click Display and select Refresh System from the context menu. Doing so establishes a new connection to the System and populates the device tree with devices on that system.
3. After the Communication Verification dialog indicates active communication between the PC and the Central Controller, verify the Master and associated devices (including the Device Controller) are listed in the OnLine Tree.
4. In NetLinx Studio, select Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device (FIG. 38):

FIG. 38 NetLinx Studio - Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device

The Send to NetLinx Device dialog opens.

1. Click the Browse button (...) to locate and select the firmware (*.kit) file that will be transferred, in the Browse for Folders dialog (FIG. 39):

FIG. 39 Send to NetLinx Device dialog

The selected file is indicated in the Files window.

1. Verify the target's System number matches the value listed within the active System folder in the OnLine Tree.

• The Device number is always 0 for the Master.
• Note that the Port field is disabled.

1. Click Send to begin the transfer. The file transfer progress is indicated in the Progress section of the dialog. The keypad reboots when the file transfer is complete.

2. Click Close once the keypad is finished rebooting.

3. In the OnLine Tree, right-click on the Master and select Refresh System. This establishes a new connection and refreshes the device list and their firmware versions in your system.

Programming the SWT Metreau Keypads

SWT-only Metreau keypads (DAS-MET-6SRC and DAS-MET-NUM) are configured via options that are accessible through the Tango Audio Controller.

Programming the Navigation Wheel (MET-6N & MET-6NE)

The Navigation Wheel has multiple programming functions. The device has four buttons mounted underneath the wheel, assigned as top, bottom, left, right, and center. These buttons are fully programmable. The wheel itself is also fully programmable.

The Navigation Wheel on the MET-6N and MET-6NE can be treated from a NetLinx programming perspective as 5 distinct pushbuttons plus Channel up and down. The button layout for the Navigation Wheel is indicated below (FIG. 41).

Rotate bi-directionally for level events on Level #2
FIG. 41 Navigation Wheel - button layout (MET-6N displayed)

Navigation Wheel - Buttons 7-11

The top, bottom, left, right and center points on the Navigation Wheel are pushbuttons that provide events on Channels #7, #8, #9, #10 and #11, and can be programmed like any other button.

Navigation Wheel - Buttons 12-13

The Navigation Wheel itself can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise, and is intended to provide level control (for example volume or lighting levels).

• When rotated clockwise, the Navigation Wheel provides events on Channel #12.
• When rotated counter-clockwise, the Navigation Wheel provides events on Channel #13.
• When rotated (clockwise/counter-clockwise), the Navigation wheel provides level events on Level #2.

Navigation Wheel - Level Control

In addition to generating button events, a rotation of the wheel causes a level change on Level #2:

• Clockwise rotations increase the level
• Counter-clockwise rotations decrease the level.

Example code is provided below:

LEVEL_EVENT[dvMetreau,2]
{
    volume = level.value
    SEND_STRING 0, "Volume is now: ', ITOA(volume)"
} 

Display Bargraph

The display bargraph consists of 7 LEDs and is controlled via Level #1. Sending a level will update the LEDs on the display bargraph. Example code is provided below:

SEND_LEVEL dvMetreau,1,200

Supported SEND\_LEVELs

MET-6N and MET-6NE keypads support a SEND_LEVEL on Level #1. This level is used to adjust the LED bargraph display on the keypad.

SEND_LEVELs

LED Feedback for 2-Position Pushbuttons

The Metreau 7- and 13-button keypads feature a 2-Position pushbutton at the bottom of the button layout (FIG 42). The button can be used either as a single button (in which case it functions just like the other buttons), or it can be used as a 2-position button. In many cases, this button is used as a 2-position button to provide ramp up/down control, for volume, light levels, etc.

• On Metreau 7-button keypads, the 2-Position button utilizes button numbers 7 (left-side) and 8 (right-side).
• On Metreau 13-button keypads, the 2-Position button utilizes button numbers 13 (left-side) and 14 (right-side).

Terminal (Telnet) Commands

Telnet terminal communication can be accessed remotely via TCP/IP.

Establishing a Terminal Connection via Telnet

1. In your Windows task bar, go to Start > Run to open the Run dialog.
2. Type cmd in the Open field and click OK to open an instance of the Windows command interpreter - "Cmd.exe" (FIG 43):

FIG. 43 Windows command Interpreter (Cmd.exe)

1. Type "telnet" followed by a space and the keypad's IP address:

>telnet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 

1. Press .

- Without a Telnet password set, a session will begin with a welcome banner similar to the following:

Welcome to SP-08-E-US v1.0.44 Copyright AMX LLC > 

- If a Telnet password is set, then user credentials are required:

Enter username:
Enter protected password:
Welcome to SP-08-E-US v1.0.44 Copyright AMX LLC
> 

Telnet User Name and Password

There are two Telnet commands that set the Telnet user name and password:

• Set Telnet Username (see page 54)
• Set Telnet Password (see page 54)

By default, both the user name and password are blank (empty string). Performing a factory reset on the device will return these values to that default. See the Performing a Factory Reset section on page 18 for details.

• Setting the User Name will have no effect if the password remains blank (empty string). That is, defining the user name alone will not result in Telnet prompting for user login.
• Setting the Password will cause Telnet to prompt for user login, whether the user name has been defined or not. If the user name has been defined, this value must be entered.

However, since the password can be set independently of the user name, it's possible to have a password defined, but the user name still at its default (blank, empty string).

In this case, do not enter anything for the user name when prompted. Simply press , which will then present the password prompt. Here, the defined password must be entered, in order to successfully open the Telnet session.

Additional Notes

• Both the Telnet user name and password are case-sensitive.
• Three consecutive, unsuccessful attempts to log in to Telnet will cause the Telnet window to close. Re-launching Telnet will again present the login prompt, with a fresh "batch" of login attempts.
• If Telnet login fails because of an incorrect user name, you will receive the "Invalid Password" message (as opposed to an "Invalid Username" message).

Setting a Telnet User Name and Password

To set a Telnet user name and password:

1. Establish a terminal connection via Telnet.
2. Type Set Telnet Username, and press . The program will prompt you to enter a new Telnet user name.
3. Enter a user name and press . The program will indicate that the user name is being stored.
4. Type Set Telnet Password, and press .

NOTE: Press twice when asked to enter the password to clear both the telnet user name and password.

1. The program will prompt you to enter a password. Enter a password and press .
2. The program will prompt you to re-enter the Telnet password. Re-enter the password and press . The program will indicate that the password is being stored.

Notes on Specific Telnet Clients

Telnet and terminal clients will have different behaviors in some situations. This section states some of the known anomalies.

Windows Client Programs

Anomalies occur when using a Windows™ client if you are not typing standard ASCII characters (i.e. using the keypad and the ALT key to enter decimal codes). Most programs will allow you to enter specific decimal codes by holding ALT and using keypad numbers.

For example, hold ALT, hit the keypad 1, then hit keypad 0, then release ALT. The standard line feed code is entered (decimal 10). Windows will perform an ANSI to OEM conversion on some codes entered this way because of the way Windows handles languages and code pages.

The following codes are known to be altered, but others may be affected depending on the computer's setup.

Characters 15, 21, 22, and any characters above 127.

This affects both Windows Telnet and Terminal programs.

Linux Telnet Client

The Linux Telnet client has three anomalies that are known at this time:

• A null (\00) character is sent after a carriage return.
• If an ALT 255 is entered, two 255 characters are sent (per the Telnet RAFT).

- If the code to go back to command mode is entered (ALT 29 which is ^]), the character is not sent, but Telnet command mode is entered.

Enabling/Disabling Telnet on the Keypad

By default, Telnet is enabled on all Metreau keypads. The default Telnet port is 23.

You can change the Telnet port by using the SET TELNET PORT command (see page 54). Setting the Telnet port to zero disables Telnet access.

The SET TELNET PORT command requires a reboot to enable new settings.

NOTE: The only way to re-enable Telnet once it has been disabled is to reset the unit to the factory default firmware image. See the Restoring the Factory Image on the Keypad section on page 42 for details.

Basic Keypad Functions - DAS-MET-6SRC

Overview

Metreau Keypads are pre-configured to provide many common functions. The DAS-MET-6SRC provides basic keypad functionality, including Source Control (selecting source, initiating and pausing playback), Volume control (Up/Down), Zone control (On/Off), and audio (Bass/Treble/Balance/SRS Mode) adjustment.

NOTE: The SWT Metreau keypads function essentially the same as previous versions SWT keypads.

The standard configuration for the Audio (SWT) 6-Source Keypad (DAS-MET-6SRC) is described below. Note that while the functionality described here is fixed for the SWT Keypads, the AxLink Keypads can be customized, just like any other AxLink keypad.

Working with Zone Grouping

In Group Mode, zones can be "grouped" together and controlled as a single zone. This feature is specifically designed to accommodate a situation where it is desirable to link a combination of rooms (zones) to a common source. For example when hosting a party and you wish to have the common areas all linked to the same audio source. When initially creating a zone group, all members of the group will have the volume set to the same level. The volume can then be adjusted on an individual zone basis, by using the Navigation Wheel (on the DAS-MET-6SRC keypad) in each zone. Group Volume may be adjusted at any time.

• To enter Group Mode, press the Group button (see FIG. 72).
- Group Mode is indicated by all Source LED's turned On.

NOTE: Group Mode can also be accessed by pressing and holding buttons 1 and 2 for four seconds (as is the case with earlier versions of Matrix keypads).

Sources power off when selected.	Program error in ON/ OFF function.	Programming
Sources don't start playing when selected.	Program error in device select function.	Programming

Power Connections

Tracking down problems that are power related are somewhat easy because the unit either powers up or it doesn't. If it does not, there are several things to check.

1. Check to make sure you are attached to a functioning live electrical circuit. If the branch circuit is dead check the breaker or there may be a light switch controlling the power to the outlet. If it's on a switched circuit try to obtain power elsewhere.
2. Ensure that both ends of each power cord are firmly seated in all of the source components.
3. If you're plugged into power strips, check them for operation as well. Be aware these often have mini-breakers on them and you should check to ensure that power is functioning in EACH outlet.
   It is not uncommon for the inexpensive power strips to fail at one plug-in but not the others.
4. There is a power switch located at the rear of the Controller, check to see that it is in the ON or (1) position.
5. There is a fuse beside the power switch at the back of the Controller. Remove the fuse and inspect it to see that it is intact. If you have an ohm meter, test for continuity across the fuse (sometimes they look good, but they're really broken near one of the ends). If you are using a power bar they often have mini-breakers on them, and you should check to ensure that all is well. The fuse in the rear of the Unit is a T8AL250v.

Zone Connection Problems

If there is wall power and both the source components and the Controller seem to be powering up OK, but one or more of the zones are not working, there may be a problem at the individual zone or with the cabling connecting to the zone. Begin by checking each zone keypad for functionality by pressing the desired source button. The LED should light red next to the source on the KP-4e keypads or should "wake up" with a screen menu on the touch panel keypad.

Dead Zones

There is power and the source devices and the Tango Controller seem to be powering up OK, but one or more of the zones are not working.

Check each zones keypad for functionality by pressing the desired source button. The LED should light Red next to the source.

LED Does Not light

You are not getting power and command connectivity to the zone. Check other zones and select each source to determine if this is specific to the source or the room in general. If the problem is in a particular room then there may be an issue with cabling to your speakers or it may be the keypad itself. If you get similar results for a particular source in multiple zones then there may be an issue with the source equipment and you should check to see that the selected source is 'playing'. If every other zone is ok, check to make sure cables to the speakers are secure and that you have tried to increase the volume level in the zone.

Possible Causes:

• Zone connectors at Tango Controller are not secure.
- Connector at Keypad to Tango Controller is not secure.
- Wiring standard not followed. Make certain the center two wires are in the same orientation at the Tango Controller and the keypad. They may have been inadvertently reversed during the installation.
- Input and output connectors on keypad are reversed.
- Keypad not recognized by system. Restart system.

Source Connections

Problems in source cabling display some of the following characteristics.

• The source cannot be heard in any zone.
- The source doesn't seem to respond to keypad commands.

Ensure that the sources LINE OUT connections are connected to the Tango Controllers LINE IN connections for the correct device. Check to see that the IR emitter lead is securely fastened to the IR receiver on the audio source and that you have the lead plugged into the appropriate IR output jack (FIG. 103).

FIG. 103 Rear View – Source in/out – IR Out

When a keypad command is received and communicated to the source device, there is a LED that lights on the front of the Tango Controller indicating the processing of the command. If the LED does not light with a keypad press, then it is possible that the device has not been programmed. If the LED does light, there may be a problem with the infrared emitter lead.

TIP: For Testing, when you are having IR problems, it is helpful to carry a blinking emitter or a test emitter to ensure that the commands are being sent to the source. Techniques you can use to help isolate a sources problem include swapping the source with another on the Tango Controller to see if the problem stays with the Controller or follows the movement of the source. Also try swapping IR emitter leads. Take a look at the source to ensure that no MUTE functions have been accidentally activated.

NOTE: If you connect a keypad while the Controller is on you must restart the Controller for that keypad to become active.

No Keypad Activity

You are not getting power and command connectivity to the zone. The following are some of the possible causes:

• Verify that the AxLink address is set to 0 (zero).
  • Zone connectors at the Controller are not secure.
• Connector in the wall at keypad to Controller is not secure.
• Wiring and connection directions not followed. Make certain the center two wires (DATA and GROUND) are in the same orientation at the Controller and the keypad.
• Connectors on keypad from Controller and speakers are reversed.
• Keypad not recognized by system. Restart system.

Keypad Lights, No Sound

Power and command connectivity are getting to the zone. Check other zones and select each source to determine if this is specific to the source or the room in general. If the problem is in a particular room then there may be an issue with cabling to the speakers or it may be the keypad itself. If you get similar results for a particular source in multiple zones then there may be an issue with the source equipment and you should check to see that the selected source is 'playing'. If every other zone is OK, check to make sure cables to the speakers are secure and that you have tried to increase the volume level in the zone.
